Use eProcurement Catalogs to Save Your Money!

Did you know that making your purchase through an eProcurement catalog saves you money on both sales tax and shipping costs? eProcurement offers a number of different vendors that utilize contracted university pricing and other benefits that lower the overall procurement cost. Other purchasing methods may not offer the same benefits, so make sure you take a look in eProcurement before using your One Card!

Do you have questions about making a purchase through eProcurement? Our Purchasing team is happy to help! Contact us at [email protected] or 972-883-2300.
